Enjoying the view

A pleasant oasis

I am sitting on the front porch of Les Fleurs Suite as I write this.  It is a beautiful day.  The view toward the Lake...

Gayarre Park through the wild ginger

Straight ahead...

Where Bayou Road crosses Esplanade Avenue

And toward the River...

The corner of North Miro Street and Esplanade Avenue

Let's look up at one of those old Southern Oaks...

At least a hundred-year-old tree

Les Fleurs is the largest of the suites currently open at our colorful and eclectic inn.  Because it is slightly above ground level its porch interacts with the street.  People walk by all the time.  They mind their own business.  If they do stop, it is to admire the building.  You can't blame them.

I've been sitting here for about a half hour, watching the world go by in our little corner of it.  All is peaceful this afternoon.  And that is the kind of news we like to report around here at La Belle Esplanade bed and breakfast.

You could be sitting here

A votre sante.
